A Wonderful Marching Feat.

Looking through history writes Lieu
tenant Hamilton in the New York Post,
we find that though in all other particu.
lars the art Of war has made Wonderful
strides, yet in the actual distances ac-
complished in marches on foot the an
clients were fully equal TO modern sol
dicrs. In fact, the most wonderful feat
ever recorded in marching was accom-
plished by the ancicnts. In the second
Punic war Hannibal lay waiting at Canu.
sium for his brother Hasdrubal 10 bring
him achievements from spain. Facing
Hannibal was Roman army under the
Consul Claudius Nero, while op.
positc IIasdrubal was another
Roman army under the Consul III.
7ius. Leaving the main body
90 hold and deceive Hannibal, Claudius,
with picked body OF 0OJ horses and
6, 900 foot, marched secretly and quickly
to Livius, and, joining forces with him.
they hurled themselves on lIasdrubal
and defeated him. Claudius then at
once marched back again before lIanni-
bal was aware Of his brothers defeat.
Now, the distance between Canusium
and Sierra Gnllica, the place OF the bat
tic, by the best authorities is given 40 the
least measurement as 22j milc'. The
march was made each way i'm sis days or
at the rate of over thirty-scvcn miles a
day. But this march is an exceptional
one, and, il believed, must stand out
like so many other Of tho wonders Of the
ancicnts,

Wild Ponies on the Southern Coast,

On the banks or sand bars thlt divide
the Atlantic Ocean from Pamlico Sound,
North Carolina, just inside the light
house that marks out TO the mariner
dreaded Cape Lookout, there is to be
found hardy race of ponies known as
Bankers" These ponies have lived
there as long as the tradition of the old
est inhabitant dates back. Entirely sur
rounded by deep water at all seasons,
having no communication with the main
land, aud being barren Of vegetation save
a scanty growth Of sedge grass and low
shrubs, the banks have remained unin-
hqbitcd except by these ponies, which
seem to thrive aud multiply in spite OF
the hardships TO which they are exposed.
How they first came there, or Of what
igin, is conjecture, and tradition mere
ly hints the story OF violent storm, with
its attendant shipwTeck and loss Of all on
board, save a lot OF ponies from some
European port, which were cast upon the
sands, and surviving the storm became
the prOgenitors OF the race Of Bankers
now so numerous. Having TO rely on in
stnct alone, these animals arc sub ect
OF study 20 the naturalist. as they are
prey not only TO the driving sands, but
70 the storms Of the Cape, that break
upon and over the narrow sand bar and
change with lch recurring hurricane the
topography Of the country. The ponies.

like the most of his kind, the padrone
on this occasion spoke the truth. He
was simple fellow, ignorant of the craze
OF the elegant world for antiquities; he
had not troubled himself TO inquire the
history of Crocitssa's lace, but had satis-
fed his conscience by asking its value of
an old woman of the village, an authority
in such matters.
But the iratc Mrs. Webster was not TO
he appeased. The padrone had tried to
cheat her as egregionsly rs any hardened
rogue in the lowest of junkshops
Here, to Crocitissa, take your lace, |
have changed my mind, and will not
have IL !" and she tossed the dainty work
into basket on the girls arm.
But, signoraw cried the poor child,
burs ing into tears, and extending both
hands imploringy.
Leave the room at once, both of you ~
said Mrs. Webster, callously. ~ cannot
have scene here. The way of the trans.
gressor is hard, You know, and you must
take the conse luences of your evil
deeds.r
Poor Crocifssa how she retraced her
tired steps TO Piatico, empty handed,
with the uulucky lace in her basket, she
never knew. The situation was really
deplorIble-all the nccessaries for their
humble housekeeping almost in their
possession, the rooms engaged, and not
a franc TO pay for anything. The little
community was loud in its expressions OF
rage at the inhumln woman who had so
deceived Crocitissa, but this mended
matters not ut all.
A day or two later Reno sought us
out, despair on his handsome face. Gro.
ciiissa was i'll, of grief only, but so low
and miserable, that Reno feared the
worst. The poor girl was really in a
pitiablc state, and after our visit to the

There were crowds OF strangers Mt the
hotel at Abetone; why should they not
know OF the sad little romance at Piati

hostess, the affair was made public, and
we arranged lottery by which to dis
pose of Crocifissa's lace.
To our great delight, tickets to tho
